Does exactly what we need it to! The service costs but we have a responsibility to the planet so are happy to pay.
It was easy to order and arrived within a couple of days. It's now attached to my fridge busy collecting the many foil medicine packs which I always felt so bad about putting in the general rubbish.
It's a great size and I think it's going to last us several months so good value too.
I’m pleased to be recycling pill packets in the correct way rather than putting them in the bin.
I have use Zero Waste Bags several times now to recycle medicine blister packs. It is easy to order bags as needed and to return them when full. It feels good to be reducing landfill.
Great idea for recycling

My husband takes lots of different tablets and I wasn’t able to recycle them locally. Zero Waste Bags have solved that problem for me.
Great way of recycling blister packs.
Ordered medium bag for blister packs. It's huge! Should last us a year. Very pleased to be able to recycle them
I unfortunately get through so many medicine blister packs and it bothers me to throw them in the bun. So I loved finding these bags to collect them all for recycling. Super easy to get and return when full. And the medium bag is great value compared to the small. Love my zero waste bags!
It's brilliant. Much bigger than the medium!!

After collecting empty blister packs for quite a while until a company could be sourced whom recycles I was pleased to utilise Terracyle to complete the task. Easy to order the relevant size of bag and once filled, simply scan the QR code and organise drop off to named location. Although the bags are expensive willing to pay the price so that I don't have to put these items to landfill.
These zero bags are a great idea to use for any of the waste streams available. I have the large bag for all plastic packaging that my local council does not take. This is my second bag and I have the small and medium ongoing too.
Whether we like it not, we all need to play our part in recycling, in particular with different councils recycling different items. This way it can all be recycled.
You pay for postage and the bag and it is simple to return via InPost. You can even wait for for offers before buying the bags.
So, what are you waiting for?
I collect empty blister packs for our church, and our local Parkinson's group.
The large Zero Waste Bag is perfect and is usually full after a month of collection. Returning these bags, when full, is easy. After receiving a QR Code, I take the full bag to a local In-Post box for collection. It couldn't be easier. So why not start collecting, reducing landfill, and helping the environment.
Recycling medication blister packs for a group of elderly ladies. Just the right size for 5 or 6 weeks of collecting.
I think the zero waste large bags are a great way to send waste, to be recycled by posting, at a in-post locker.
